Notes:

James Spader flourishes in this expansive lead role. His quirky mannerisms and distinctive voice, transition from humor to dramatic scenes seamlessly. If you had the pleasure of listening to Spader play "Ultron" in the last Avenger's movie, then you probably realize how much his voice can flesh out a character. Megan Boone does an excellent job as his co-lead, and the supporting cast is decent. It's an unusually beefy show, with twenty two episode seasons, but you'll wanna watch every one.
